Default Newbie - - 69 Vette

Hello all,

Well I'm a newbie that for some time has wanted a 69 Vette....Gold with black interior, 4 speed, hard top....And I've found one...I think its perfect except I would have wished for more HP....It's a 350/350 no air, 4-speed, from a collection and less than 40,000 miles and they want 30K...for it...
It has had a repaint but from what I understand all else is original....all numbers matching....Looking on the NADA website they price this car much higher...Am I missing something or should I go now with the cash to buy it...Help Please....

Thanks,

Erock

Looks nice, but you need to have someone very familiar with C3's go with you (takes the emotion out of it and they may see things that are not correct, etc)

It could be a good deal, but you need to know what to be concerned about before buying. At the worst, it's not the car for you/but the right car will come along. At best, it's not the right car for you and the right car will come along and you won't be out money trying to make it right. Read up, there's plenty of info on this forum to help.
